School Law
Many of our criminal cases include a response from local school systems that adds more stress to an already tense situation. Whether it is a Title IX investigation, an IDEA due process hearing, or an attempt to suspend or expell a student from school, we offer limited education law services to deal with some of the most stressful interactions a client can have with a school system.
1
School Expulsion Hearings
School districts will not hesitate to suspend or expel a student accused of misconduct. Known as the educuational death penalty, expulsion can have profound effects on a student and their family. We offer full service defense at expulsion hearings, appeals to the State Superintendant and litigation of wrongful expulsions in circuit court.
2
Title IX Investigations
A Title IX investigation is a frightening and confusing process that could result in suspension, expulsion, or exclusion from classes, sports and extracurricular activities on an accusation alone. We represent students who are the subject of Title IX complaints from investigation through appeal.
3
IEP Due Process Hearings
We represent students and families in the sometimes frustrating process of navigating IEP plans and in Due Process Hearings and appeals that occur within services provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
4
Educational Licensing Complaints
We regularly represent educators throughout the Coulee Region whose teaching licenses are put into jeopardy when they are accused of a crime. Our office represents teachers locally and before state licensing agencies when they are subject to professional discipline.
